Chubas

Well, I for one am altering my mispronunciation and will henceforth always
say "chubas". It is so much more elegant than the vulgar "tubers".

Allor, nous comprenons. Vous parlez de votre petite tubercules francaises?
Tres genteel! Oui, le mot "chubas" est plus gentil, euphemique. Repos
dans la paix Monsieur.

'Tornet' ("thunder'='damn'), 'fi-fi narge' (pi-pi d'angie'= "angel 'rain' "), "caca-polle" rum ("bad/low quality" rum), and 'mamaguy' (from the Spanish 'maman el gallo', used in Trinidadian English ONLY! [broadly speaking and in Trinidad only!! :--)>] "to praise someone' tongue-in-cheek' (falsely) for favors", and finally 'dasheen'̃ Chine="from China" =taro=Colocasia esculenta (THERE is the aroid connection to this drivel!!!)! We have our Patois in Trinidad that we must deal with.

Count me in! I feel that I will never be able to say (or write) "tubers"
again. "Chubas" rule!!!!
(I have been laughing for three days because of this story...)

I don't even remember how this topic started.... but I feel there should be
some sort of contest at the IAS Show next month- who can pronounce Chubas
the best.
Poor Julius, thank heavens he has a terrific sense of humour!
